We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The small classes made it very easy to have one on one time with the teachers, and it helped me learn more. I would like to see the school spend more money to better the school and to better the students experience.

I've been here since freshman year, and I have to say the school has only gotten better as some teacher have come and gone. I have a few problems with a few teachers aside from that the school is great.

I really like the small town atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly, the staff is amazing, and the classes are very one-on-one.
